If you wear them to a dinner party, you'll be able to breathe, even when you're stuffed! Try these from Forever 21 ($23). Gallop over to your dinner party in a pair of knee-high boots. These mixed media wedge boots from Charlotte Russe are made of leather and suede ($43).
A sweater dress is an effortless way to look holiday-ready. This dress from the Kardashian Kollection at Sears will hug all of your curves and accentuate your waist with a thin belt ($35).

| Kenzo Amour by KenzoAfter Ayala's wonderful review, there is little to add other than it is ok with me. This is a fragrance that I would wear if it were given to me, but I would not go out and buy it. I love Kenzo Oriental and Amour has a quality or expensive smell to it, but it's just not so special I could fall in love with it and I do have so many loves. So I would say yes and no. 29th January, 2007 |
| DKNY Red Delicious by Donna KaranI gave a review on be delicious and this red delicious is just about identical. Maybe add a few cherries and watermelon, but it is just a typical fruity floral, nothing special. Very boring. There is nothing in it that is offensive, but nothing that would make me want to wear it. Just blah. 29th January, 2007 |
| DKNY Be Delicious by Donna KaranThis to me is a typical boring fruity floral and I am one who likes an occasional fruity floral, but this one is just blah. Nothing different or special. Ripe green apples with more fruit and cucumber, florals, and the drydown woods are not even perceptible to me. It is not offensive in any way, just boring. 29th January, 2007 |
| Paradise for Women by Alfred SungI was very pleasantly surprised by this. I am so glad I picked it up, but I am one who loves tropical scents and this one is very yummy tropical and has the most wonderful woody drydown. It smells more complicated than you might expect given the price, but it does change as the hours go by, it is not linear. I do love it. It is NOT your typical fruity floral, it is so much more. 29th January, 2007 |
| Narciso Rodriguez for Her by Narciso RodriguezI was inspired by many of the threads I have read lately and had to try this. In every other perfume I have, I prefer the EDP or perfume, but with this one I chose for the first time the EDT. I fell in love at first sniff and I usually do not like musk, but this is so special and sexy. I highly recommend it, but only if you can wear musk. This is very mild, but lasted all evening and was still there in the morning. Just love it! 29th January, 2007 |
| Opium pour Homme by Yves Saint LaurentI actually prefer this men's opium to the women's. It is not so strong or cinnamon, clove spicy. I also very much like the addition of the cedar. I am a woman and wear mostly women's fragrances, but this one seems unisex to me. 22nd January, 2007 |
| Black Cashmere by Donna KaranI know a lot of people like this scent so I hope you will keep in mind that our noses are all a little different along with our skin chemistry. The ladies were doing a laying challenge and many were using Black Cashmere and so I had to go out and try it. To me, If one were to put cloves into a used ashtray and set them on fire, you'd get Black Cashmere. 22nd January, 2007 |
| Gloria by CacharelI Love Gloria, but I wish it were a lot stronger. It is considered a fresh Oriental and the notes are: Vanilla, Musk, Amaretto, Bittersweet Italian Almond Liquor, Ambergris, Bulgarian Rose, Hibiscus. It will be a keeper for sure. 22nd January, 2007 |
| Midnight Fantasy by Britney SpearsI tried this because I found the bottle to be so beautiful and it wasn't bad for about half an hour and then it got very synthetic and cheap smelling. 21st January, 2007 |
| Carlos Santana for Women by Carlos SantanaThis sounds like a fruity floral, but it has Musk and Sandalwood in the base and is listed everywhere I have found as an oriental. It truly is a beautiful scent, somewhat on the lines of hypnotic poison. It does not smell like hypnotic poison, but it is a softly, musky, sandalwood oriental in somewhat the same class. 21st January, 2007 |
| Curious by Britney SpearsI did not like this. This is one that had absolutely no redeeming qualities at all for me. It smelled like something I might find at the drug store but much, much, worse. Just chemicals and a few white flowers. I would not wear it for free, or if it were the last fragrance on earth. 21st January, 2007 |
| Trouble by BoucheronI love this one. A nice full bodied, wooded oriental. Smells very expensive. Somewhat on the lines Of Maggie Noire, but a little more modern and more wood notes. Love it. 21st January, 2007 |
| Realm by Realm FragrancesI do like the Realm for men. It's very vanilla, but I would not get it again even if I could. I do love it's smoothness and there nothing unpleasant about it. 21st January, 2007 |
| Passion for Men by Elizabeth TaylorI bought this for my husband when it first came out and was disappointed for it smelled too sweet and spicy. I do love sweet and spicy, but this one was way over the top for me. I tried to get rid of it, but he likes it. 21st January, 2007 |
| Gucci pour Homme (original) by GucciThis is extremely woody, a very manly smell and I do like it on my husband, but would not wear it myself. But what I would say most is that it is very macho and that can be good on a man, so I bought my husband a few botles because it was being discontinued. 21st January, 2007 |
| Gucci No. 1 by GucciI love wood in my fragrances and did not think I could find one with too much wood for me, but this one smells to me of Gucci PH for about an hour and then mellows down, but the mellowing down did not present something I liked and I can't even describe it, something I have not smelled before. 21st January, 2007 |
| Boucheron by BoucheronThis seems to be in somewhat the same class as Maggie Noire. It is listed as an oriental, but it has oakmoss and I would think it would be a chypre. So I would call it a chypre oriental. It definitely does have that chypre note. It seems to be a complicatied fragrance with a lot going on. I do like it myself, but my husband doesn't. 21st January, 2007 |
| Paloma Picasso / Mon Parfum by Paloma PicassoI am not a Chypre person, but have been sampling Chypre's by the score. Paloma Picasso has been one of the best ones that I have tested. It is strong so a little spray will do it and it lasted all night and day. I would think a Chypre lover would flip over this one. I sampled the EDP. 09th January, 2007 |
| Chantilly by DanaThis is called an amber oriental. I would say it is also quite flowery. It has notes of fruits, lemon, bergamot, neroli, jasmine, rose, orange blossom, spices, ylang ylang, carnation, Indian Sandalwood, moss, vanilla, musk, amber, leather, tonka bean,& benzoin. Another one from Dana that is unbelievable for the price. This is simply wonderful. 09th January, 2007 |
| Navy by DanaThis is surprisingly nice for the price. Hard to believe. It is called a floral oriental with citrus, flowers, cinnamon, coriander. It is not one of my favorites by Dana so I will give it a maybe. 09th January, 2007 |
| Toujours Moi by DanaThis is an unbelievable perfume for the price. It was in a packet I picked up with a mixture of Dana's by the House of Coty. It is described as an oriental with notes of sandlewood, vetiver, musk, jasmine & orange blossom. 09th January, 2007 |
| Tabu by DanaTabu, House of Coty, Dana, known as a spicy oriental. Top notes: Bergamot oil, coriander, neroli, Orange, spice notes. Middle notes: Clove bud oil, clover, jasmine, narcissus, oriental rose, ylang ylang. Bottom notes: amber, benzoin, cedar, civet, moss, musk, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver. major notes/accord Patchouli, cloves, cinnamon, orange, orange blossom, civet. I am surprised to love this because I can buy it here in the U.S. for practically nothing. It lasts and lasts. 09th January, 2007 |
| Pacific Paradise by EscadaSo I am in my second childhood. I love this. It is my first real fruity floral and is lasts all night. Very tropical and the first fragrance I could even stand with a grapefruit beginning, but that changes into a very tropical fruity scent. I do love it. 05th January, 2007 |
| Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella by GuerlainI love so many Guerlain perfumes that I bought this as a blind buy and I was very disappointed. It was watery and had a very bitter licorice smell with a slight peach scent. Even though it was so weak and watery, It still had a way of turning my stomach in very bad ways. I was surprised that Guerlain would put it's name on this. Awful. 31st December, 2006 |
| Shanghai by Marc RosenShanghai by Shanghai is a most delicate oriental floral with fruity notes. 22nd December, 2006 |
| Carlos Santana for Men by Carlos SantanaMy husband came out of the bathroom with this on and it smelled to me of my Burberry Brit. I must have an odd nose, but I really do love it. 19th December, 2006 |
| Coriandre by Jean CouturierThis is one of four chypres I have bought lately and this one is not as fun or changing as the others. It starts off smelling like coriander and stays smelling like coriander so to really love this, I would think, you'd really have to love coriander. It is not an unpleasant fragrance, but one I would not get again. 19th December, 2006 |
| Carolina by Carolina HerreraThis has the one of most beautiful fruit smells, I have smelled. It really does smell like a fresh bowl of fruit in a very sophisticated way and it is done very well. It is very feminine. I just wish it would last longer on me. Others have said it lasts on them. Maybe if I use a lot of oil first. 19th December, 2006 |
| Jolie Madame by Pierre BalmainJolie Madame is my first Chypre since I have started really getting into perfumes. It is taking me some time to get used to the fact that it changes so often on me and maybe that's the fun of it. I have sampled a lot of Chypres lately and have so far chosen four and this was one of the four. It is hard to describe because, like I said, it changes a lot. It starts off rather sharp, then mellows to something like a spring garden, greens and flowers, then it has a beautiful sort of satiny, flowery, leather. 19th December, 2006 |
| FlowerbyKenzo Oriental by KenzoI like this a lot better than Flowers, it has more spunk, more kick. It's not real strong, but it has more of what I like in a perfume than just Flowers. It is more complicated, I think. 10th December, 2006 |

10 Surprising Sales Secrets
1. Customers truly want to buy.2. Elevator pitches never work.3. Cold calling makes you stronger.4. Selling is mostly listening.5. Sales training can't create sales stars.6. Introverts usually outsell extroverts.7. Customer experience creates a brand.8. Closing is a process not an event.9. Loyal customers are better than new ones.10. Everybody sells.
Over the past 15 years, I've been studying the art of selling. In the process of writing hundreds of articles and columns about selling, I've been personally coached by nearly 100 top sales gurus. Here are the 10 most surprising things I've learned from the experience.--Geoffrey James
Everybody likes to buy things (don't you?) but nobody likes to be sold something. That's why it alienates customers whenever you attempt to persuade, convince or manipulate a customer into buying. The point of selling is to help a customer make the best decision, thereby adding additional pleasure to the customer's innate desire to buy.
I don't know where this "elevator pitch" bullsh*t started, but there's no quicker way to bore a potential customer than to launch into a two or three minute spiel about yourself, your company, and your products. Think about it: do you enjoy listening to other people go on and on and on about their corporate "stuff"?
Even professional salespeople often hate cold-calling and will do almost anything to get out of it. Even so, calling people you don't know to see if you can help them is one of the best ways in the world to strengthen the emotional muscles that allow you to deal with "rejection" and to quickly build rapport and empathy.
The challenge of selling is to get the customer talking, not talking to the customer. How can you possibly figure out whether you can help a customer, or how to help that customer, if your mouth is moving? Let the customer have the pleasure of dominating the conversation.
Your bullsh*t detector should go on red alert whenever you're told that sales training can make everyone on the sales team into a top performer. Sales training can improve performance marginally, but it can't turn an average performer into a sales star any more than great coaching can turn a weekend hoop shooter in a Lebron James.
The stereotype of the outgoing, fast-talking, go-getter salesperson is still alive in popular culture, but in the real world that kind of hard-sell attitude and patter makes customers want to puke. Since selling is mostly listening, it favors introverts who can put their egos aside and keep their ears open.
Big companies often spend millions on "branding" and even small companies are sometimes obsessed with naming, slogans, logos, and so forth. What a waste! Your "brand" is how your customers feel about you, which is always a result of the experience they have when dealing with you. Within that experience, the minutiae of "branding" plays a distinctly minor role.
Contrary to popular belief, there isn't (or shouldn't be) a single point in time where you "ask for the business." If your purpose is to truly help a customer make the best decision and you've done your best to accomplish that, you'll find the conversation gradually move from "what if" to "when" if the best decision is to buy from you.
Getting new customers to buy from you is expensive and chancy. Getting existing customers to buy from you is inexpensive and easy. Getting loyal customers to buy from you costs nothing and is automatic. Therefore, your priority should always be to transform existing customers into loyal ones; new customers are only a priority when you're just starting out.
While some people do sell for a living (they're called salespeople), there's not a single person in the business world--from CEO to mailroom drone--who is not constantly selling the value of his or her contribution. Unless your job description is something like "gaze at my own navel," you're selling. Take my word on it.

Racial differences in parathyroid hormone levels in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 11837801 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
AIM: African-Americans (AA) with normal renal function have higher parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels than Caucasians (C). This difference was also noted in cross-sectional studies of patients on dialysis. In this study, we evaluated patients with end-stage renal disease who have just began dialysis and who were not receiving any vitamin D therapy. METHODS: A total of 363 patients were recruited (C: 260; AA: 103). All patients had serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and intact PTH (iPTH) levels measured within 3 months of initiating dialysis. RESULTS: Serum PTH levels were significantly higher in AA vs. C (383 +/- 33 vs. 246 +/- 19, p < 0.001). This difference was present despite similar calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase levels between the 2 groups and regardless of gender or diabetes status. However, PTH levels in patients younger than 47 years of age were similar in both groups. CONCLUSION: PTH levels in ESRD patients over 47 years of age are higher in AA compared to C. The difference is, in part, due to an age-dependent reduction in PTH seen only in C. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms of these racial differences and to verify whether they mirror similar alterations at the level of the end-organ tissue. |

WASHINGTON - The 150 Iowa veterans who arrived in Washington, D.C., on day one of the federal shutdown weren't sure whether they would be able to view the iconic sights they'd made the journey to see.
But members of Congress - the same body that caused the government to close in the first place - committed a bit of civil disobedience to help the Iowans break into a barricaded memorial Tuesday.
Iowa's U.S. Rep. Steve King played a central role in helping the veterans breach the gates at the World War II Memorial, defying instructions from the U.S. Park Police that the site was closed. The scene was ...

I fixed some things. First, I compressed the movie, cutting the file size almost in half. I added a play and pause button along with a small note to fend of the haters.
If this is your first time viewing this flash I recommend you read the Note before watching the movie.
*Edit* 12/27/07
Sweet, it got added to the collection, satisfaction ensues!
I decided to do one of those "My Newgrounds" things started by Allen Awesome.
I think this will prove to be unorthodox, in a sense you can call it a parody.
I tried to make this funny, but comedy isn't my specialty so I don't know how it is going to be for you.
I was up all night doing this.
Needs sound
And animation, for that matter. You've given us a repeating loop of the generic four movements for the characters. Sonic just disapearing from the scene offered us so much more - why didn't he just run off?
What you need to do is invest in a microphone - It would have been much better with the addition of sound, to go with more animations for the characters.
Also, the remark of Shadow "Broke N***a" micht be seen as causing offense, so you may wish to stay away from that all together.
I'll look forward to your next cartoon and offer a fair criticism, should one be required of that also.
[Review Request Club]
Animation wasn't the centerpoint of the flash and the sudden vanishing of Sonic was deliberate.
I'm broke, so saving up for a mic will be pretty damn hard.
It was meant to be funny, no one so far has found it offensive and why should they if its directed at me?
Besides, for the record, I'm black.
Thanks for your review.
It was nice, but not enough
It was kinda funny, but sorry, I was looking for something better, but still, a nice piece of work (Advice:- Try to save up some money for a microphone)
[Review Request Club]
I am trying to save money, but I can't save something I don't have.
I'm broke--as in no money.
Thanks for your review.
Broke n***a. lol.
That's your Newgrounds man, that's your Newgrounds.
Yes, it is.
the animation was a bit slow, how the hell does shadow know ur black, and other than that pretty good :) GO KIRA!!!!XD XD XD XD
The flash lags for some reason.
Shadow knows, because I let him know.
(Plus he's black too)

Home » Boys' Soccer NewsSt. Clair Beats Sullivan to Open District Tourney in Overtime, 2-1November 7, 2012 St Clair Athletics St. Clair picked the perfect time to notch its first soccer win over a fellow Four Rivers Conference school this season. Playing in the opening round of the Class 2 District 9 Tournament Saturday at Borgia, the fifth-seeded Bulldogs knocked off fourth-seeded Sullivan in overtime, 2-1. Jacob Pruitt scored the game-winning goal in overtime on an assist from Spencer Crumbaugh. "As far as I can remember, it's only the second time we've advanced past the first round of districts," said St. Clair Head Coach Ted Koenigsfeld. "Our kids were excited, especially to do it against Sullivan after losing to them twice this season." It was the second time in three meetings this season St. Clair and Sullivan played into overtime. The Bulldogs lost both regular season meetings against the Eagles, but took the district contest. St. Clair (8-16) lost in the district semifinals Monday to top-seeded Borgia, 10-0. Borgia and third-seeded Union played Tuesday night in the district title contest. The Bulldogs' game against Sullivan was scoreless at halftime. The Eagles (5-14) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second half on a goal by Brendon Schmidt. The Bulldogs tied the game on Crumbaugh's 19th goal of the season, adding to his school record. Braydon Roberts had the assist. "We played really well. A lot of things we've been working on throughout the season came together," Koenigsfeld said. "Terrance Stahlman played an excellent game at forward. He made things happen with pure determination and effort. He helped set up our goal in overtime. Defensively, we played well and really limited their opportunities." Reno Jones was in goal for St. Clair, collecting 10 saves. He played every minute of every game in goal this season. "Reno is a junior and a first-year soccer player for us," Koenigsfeld said. "He did a good job in goal this season. He's a competitor. I was really pleased with his effort."

Deke Bellavia: Week #9 - Down to two games!
by Deke Bellavia
posted Nov 1 2013 11:28AM
Can you believe it? The 2013 prep football regular season has just two games left. This week and next week… then the payoffs begin. We've seen some amazing play so far, and the next two weeks are crucial for many teams trying to win district titles and earn home playoff games.
I get to stay close to home tonight; that's always nice to watch area teams close to the crib. The #4 ranked EJ Warriors travel to Washington Parish to face the #9 ranked Franklinton Demons. This is a huge match-up in District 8-4A.
I'm very excited to finally check out the East Jefferson Warriors. They've blown out everyone they've played. EJ climbed to #4 in the 4A top ten and the Warriors look to be a solid contender in the post season.
EJ scored an amazing 391 points for an average of 49 points per game. But the Warriors defense is far more impressive, shutting out six of their eight foes. And, EJ allowed just 24 points all season long. The Warriors' average margin of victory is 46 points per game.
Franklinton is 7-1 and the Demons won six straight after suffering their lone loss in a 34-12 setback to 5A Covington back in week two. The Demons average 34.3 points per game scoring and allow only 10 points per game on defense. The teams are good. The folks are great. And, the weather is going to be cool. I can't wait to be back in Washington Parish.
Other big games: the Karr Cougars take on the McDonough #35 Roneagles. Karr has a huge week 10 showdown with Warren Easton, which could decide the District 9-4A title. But both Karr and Warren Easton have some business to take care of this weekend before we can hype that possible showdown.
Ponchatoula visits St. Paul's in a key District 6-5A match-up. The Green Wave are 6-2 overall and 4-1 in district play, while the Wolves are 5-3 and 4-1. Ponchatoula is coming off a 69-51 win over Fontainebleau and the Wave won four straight games.
The Wolves had something happen to them last week for the first time since 2008. St. Paul's lost their first District 6-5A game in five seasons in a 38-7 loss to Covington. St. Paul's can still win the district with a win over the Green Wave. And, the Wave can do the same by knocking off the Wolves. This should be a real good game.
Up in Baton Rouge there are several big games this weekend. In a key District 7-3A tilt, the #1 ranked 3A University High Cubs entertain the West Feliciana Saints. And, in a big 5A match-up the East Ascension Spartans entertain the St. Amant Gators.
So as the coaches say, the games only get bigger. And, now with just two weeks left and the playoffs nearing, the time is now for some teams, or there may not be a later! Get out and enjoy prep football this weekend. Gotta love it!

Ionizer 8™ Neck
The Ionizer 8™ Neck, Middle & Bridge Model pickups were designed for Tosin Abasi. Tosin is pushing the envelope with 8-string guitars. He needs lots of sounds, and he wants pickups that can make them all. It's taken us nearly two years to develop the pickup Tosin envisioned. It's warm and open like a vintage humbucker, solid and tight like a modern metal pickup, and performs like a classic single-coil in split mode.
Recommended For
Neck position. Can also be used in bridge position.Tech Talk
It's unusual for a player to request a humbucker with the single-coil sound as important as the series humbucking sound, but Tosin was clear on this point. The split mode has lower resistance than a vintage Strat® 6-string pickup to let the 7th & 8th strings stay clean, but all of the other specs nail the classic Strat® sound.Specs

Retiree sends thank you, appreciation to family, friends
To the Editor,
I would like to express my thanks to all my fabulous family, friends, co-workers and customers who offered support and good wishes for my retirement. A special thank you to Jan Fox for all the wonderful projects we worked on together such as the Christmas parade, sidewalk sales, etc.
Thank you to all the employers I have had and to Harvey Schmidt and his family at Schmidt and Sons. I appreciated the remarkable Open House on Saturday, Oct. 27, and the chance to visit with many retired employees, people I worked with through the years, friends I hadn't seen in years and others. It was something I will never forget.
Thank you again to my wonderful friends in the Tecumseh community.
Nadine Seitz

How to Embroider a Necktie
comments (2) June 14th, 2013Next, stitch your image.
Now that your image is stitched, press the tie shut using an iron set to steam and a press cloth. I use a thick piece of felt as a press cloth.
Now it's time to add a tag if you want. Cut the ribbon about 3 inches long and fold each end in 1/2 inch. If your ribbon looks like it's going to fray, seal the ends with a bit of fabric glue.

All Summer Bridge students must attend Summer Orientation.
The Summer Bridge Program provides an extended orientation to the roles and expectations of a Shippensburg student.
The Summer Bridge Program is a five-week mandatory program beginning Friday, June 26th, 2015 and running through Thursday, July 30, 2015. The focus of the Summer Bridge Program is to provide an extended orientation to the roles and expectations of Shippensburg University students. Students must participate in a variety of activities such as placement testing and information sessions, as well as complete various educational inventories.
All students will enroll into two college courses which will count for graduation credits, GPA, etc., which they must earn at least a "C" grade or better in each class.
Students selected to participate in this program can expect to receive the following benefits:
Q: Are students required to be on campus on the weekend during the Summer Bridge Program? A: The only weekend which is required for all students to be on campus is the first one, Saturday, June 27-Sunday, June 28. Students ARE required to to be on campus Monday through Friday throughout the entire Summer Bridge Program. Q: If the student is commuting, are they required to attend all three meals each day (including Friday) A: If a student commutes, they are required to attend their two classes and any mandatory activity/event. Commuters are not required to purchase a meal plan; however, we recommend getting a small plan in order to purchase lunch if desired. Q: Which two classes are generally taken during this time? A: Students will be enrolled in ASP 101: Introduction to Higher Education (First Year Experience course) and either General Psychology or Introduction to Sociology. Both courses count towards graduation credits (ASP 101 is an elective and PSY 101/SOC 101 is a General Education-Category E course) Q: Is there any other activities or programs required in addition to the two courses ASP students are required to complete during the Summer Bridge program? A: Yes. In addition to the two classes, ASP offers a comprehensive program that consists of group study, individual study skills and various other programmatic activities. Students are usually on campus from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday with an evening activity one night per week. These programmatic activities are mandatory and students MUST attend these in order to successfully complete the Summer Bridge Program. Other activities are also planned for students that are not mandatory. The ASP Director and ASP coaches inform students of the activities that are not mandatory, but participation is encouraged. Q: Assuming the student attains the required minimum 2 C's, will these credits earned be applied toward the required credits/classes for graduation? A: Both courses count towards graduation credits (ASP 101 is an elective and PSY 101/Soc 101 is a General Education-Category E course) Q: Will the student have input in the fall 2015 schedule assuming she is successful in this program? A: The ASP Office schedules the student's fall courses for them for her based upon the student's Placement Test scores, Undeclared Survey results, and their anticipated major. The fall schedule is created in June; however, the student will have the opportunity to discuss their fall schedule with their academic advisor during the Summer Bridge Program in case any changes need to be made. Q: How does the student plan for the fall semester regarding housing/billing? A: We have a pretty good Summer Bridge Program to Fall Semester matriculation rate (over 90% make it to the fall). Therefore, housing/billing moves forward for all the students for the fall like regularly admitted students.

Executive Speaker Luncheon Series: Peter Schaff, LaSalle Investment Management
Peter Schaff, recently retired C.E.O. of LaSalle Investment Management North America, visited Kellogg's Allen Center for the fourth installment of the 2013-2014 Executive Speaker Series.
Isaac Metzger '15
On February 26th, Peter Schaff spoke to a group of Kellogg students and faculty at the Allen Center about his career, the investment management business, and thoughts on investing in the current market. Mr. Schaff retired in December after a 29-year career at LaSalle Investment Management, where he most recently served the role of Chief Executive Officer for North America. In that role, he oversaw the firm's private equity real estate business in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Mr. Schaff now spends time personally investing in real estate with capital raised from friends and family. His experiences within the real estate industry made him uniquely qualified to share with Kellogg Real Estate students his insight and expertise on real estate investment and investment management.
Mr. Schaff shared his circuitous route to the real estate business. Following his graduation from Stanford in 1980, Mr. Schaff worked at Continental Illinois Bank and Trust as a commercial banker until the bank failed in 1984. With a deep-seated interest in investing in private markets, he began to consider a career in real estate upon the advice of contacts who pointed out the large flows of pension money pouring into commercial real estate investments. Despite turning down LaSalle's initial job offer because he never saw himself as a "real estate person," he reconsidered the opportunity and joined the firm a few weeks later. Mr. Schaff used the story as an opportunity to urge students to "keep an open mind" about career paths, noting that his initial aversion to opportunities in real estate proved to be unfounded.
After touching on his background, Mr. Schaff delved into trends in the investment management industry. He described the rigorous vetting process for funds that is undertaken by today's institutional investors, who, along with their consultants, are meticulous about the details of the fund and its managers. Every aspect of performance is reviewed. Past deals and decisions are questioned, performance across funds and across economic cycles is inspected (with a particular focus on performance during the downturn), personnel are reviewed to ensure organizational stability, and meaningful principal investment by fund managers is sought. When later questioned about good vs. bad fund structures, Mr. Schaff reiterated the importance of fund managers co-investing with its limited partners in order to align incentives and objectives. He also mentioned a positive trend of limited partners being able to remove general partners, which he thinks has a "salutary effect" on managers' behavior.
Mr. Schaff also touched on capital flow trends in investment management. Investors are taking a more "global view" of real estate, with investors seeking global diversity. Large foreign investors across the globe are entering the global real estate investment market and making large, impactful investment plays. Locally, US individual investors are a fast-growing prominent investor type, as baby-boomers needing income will have more of their money placed in commercial real estate. Big financial advisors are looking to move some of the trillions they have under management to alternative asset classes. Core, income-focused real estate is very attractive as an alternative asset class, with its potential as an inflation-hedge and its moderate risk profile.
In terms of investment markets themselves, Mr. Schaff sees prices in the best markets – specifically, New York, Washington, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle, to name a few – back to pre-crisis peaks. Though he pointed out with consternation very low IRR's (around 6%, including cash return and appreciation) for investors as a trend, he thought money would continue to pool in these few very large markets. The pricing is not a bubble, Schaff noted, because the pricing is "not irrational" given interest rates. Secondary markets, though seemingly cheaper by comparison, may continue to have a harder time with demand fundamentals, leading to a "two-tiered market" in which core product in major cities is expensive and everything else is approached cautiously.
In wrapping up the session with questions from students, Mr. Schaff fielded a query about crowd-funding real estate. Though somewhat skeptical about its long-term viability because there could be some bad fall-outs, Schaff mentioned that the expense-laden nature of the real estate private capital raising market leaves room for disintermediation, especially since the current structure makes access difficult for individual investors. Finally, when asked what he would look for in a fund to invest his own money, he reiterated management experience, performance across different economic cycles, organizational stability, and personal investment from managers.

Nora Barzaga
My name is Nora Barzaga and I am a 6 & ½ year breast cancer survivor. My journey started when I had my yearly mammogram in October 2002. I had it done at a mobile unit from Memorial Hospital that was brought here at work. I didn't think much of it but then I got a letter that I needed further evaluation. I immediately called my doctor and got an appointment for a deep compression and before I left Baptist I knew something was up because the radiologist himself told me that he was recommending a biopsy.
November 15th of the same year I had the biopsy and November 18th I had my results. Breast Cancer. I had a 3 cm tumor and we caught it at a very early stage. On December 10th I had a lumpectomy. My oncologist recommended chemo and radiation to be sure that we got all the cancer. So, on January 28th 2003 I started chemo every 3rd week for 6 months followed by daily radiation for 8 weeks. I was sick but not as bad as I had imagined. Yes, I lost all my hair but I decided to proudly wear my baldness and that opened up many conversations with women who had survived and women that were going through treatment. I did get some stares but I never let that make me wear a wig.
I am one of the lucky ones, the cancer had not spread and the course of treatment made me cancer free. I was the first in my family, in my generation to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Unfortunately, there have been 4 more women in my family diagnosed after me; the youngest only 30. I sometimes feel guilt because my struggle wasn't as bad as some others. But I am grateful to be so blessed that I can now mentor others that are going through this illness.
I was fortunate to have had a good insurance plan, great doctors who moved the process quickly for me. Not all women and men are so fortunate.
After I was well I decided that I had to give back and bring help to those that needed it most. So I started participating in Race for the Cure, Relay for Life and last year was extremely blessed to have been a part of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day. It was a long 60 miles walked in the course of 3 days but it was a great way to celebrate my survivorship. Emotions ran very high all that weekend but I was able to share it with thousands of survivors. We all have a different story but we all want to end our journey at the same place…we all want to be survivors.
Why do I walk? I do it for the survivors, for those who will be diagnosed but especially for those who have lost their battle. We need to find a cure so that our daughters and granddaughters don't have to travel this path.

Airline Ticketing:
Impact of Changes in the Airline Ticket Distribution Industry
GAO-03-749: Published: Jul 31, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
In 2002, when major U.S. airlines posted net operating losses of almost $10 billion, they paid over $7 billion to distribute tickets to consumers. Of these total distribution expenses, airlines paid hundreds of millions of dollars in booking fees to global distribution systems--the companies who package airline flight schedule and fare information so that travel agents can query it to "book" (i.e., reserve and purchase) flights for consumers. Each time a consumer purchases an airline ticket through a travel agent, the global distribution system used by the travel agent charges the airline a set booking fee. Concerns have been raised that the global distribution systems may exercise market power over the airlines because most carriers are still largely dependent on each of the global distribution systems for distributing tickets to different travel agents and consumers and therefore must subscribe and pay fees to each. Market power would allow global distribution systems to charge high, noncompetitive fees to airlines, costs that may be passed on to consumers. GAO was asked to examine changes in the airline ticket distribution industry since the late 1990s and the effects on airlines, the impact of these changes on travel agents and consumers, and what the relationship between global distribution systems' booking fees and related costs suggest about the use of market power.
Since the mid-1990s, two major changes occurred in the airline ticket distribution industry, and these have produced cost savings for some major U.S. airlines. First, airlines developed less expensive Internet ticketing sites that bypass global distribution systems and their fees and encouraged passengers to book via Internet sites. Between 1999 and 2002, on average, the percentage of tickets booked on-line, including airline-owned Websites and on-line travel agencies, grew from 7 percent to 30 percent. Second, in a related effort to trim costs, airlines cut the commissions they traditionally paid to travel agencies. However, these changes have not eliminated airline dependence on global distribution systems. These changes have had mixed effects on travel agents and consumers. Very large travel agencies (those with more than $50 million in annual air travel sales revenue) appear to have benefited from volume-based incentive payments from airlines and global distribution systems, while smaller travel agencies have closed or lost business, especially to on-line travel Websites. Consumers who use the Internet have benefited from lower internet-only fares. Travelers who do not buy airline tickets on line may be at a disadvantage in not having access to these fares. Because we lacked access to proprietary company information, we could not determine the precise relationship between global distribution system booking fees and related costs, and thus could reach no conclusions about potential exercise of market power by global distribution systems in the airline ticket distribution industry. Since 1996, booking fees and some costs related to the booking function--computing costs and travel agent incentive payments--both increased. However, we could not obtain data on all expenses related to the booking function, and thus could not accurately compare these costs to booking fees. DOT provided us with technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.

WWRDH: What would Republicans do on healthcare?
Friday, 06 December 2013 15:48
George E. Curry, NNPA Columnist
Many ardent conservatives are critical of the Affordable Care Act or what they derisively call "Obamacare." But what are they proposing that proves that they care about uninsured Americans?
The Tampa Bay Times' "Pundit Fact" team discovered some interesting findings when they approached that question indirectly. Specifically, the newspaper looked at the main Republican alternatives to the Affordable Care Act and the patient diagnosis under the GOP proposals was not encouraging.

Will we act to save all our children and our nation's future? We can!
Monday, 25 November 2013 14:50
Marian Wright Edelman
The introduction this week of the Strong Start for America's Children Act by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Representatives George Miller (D-CA) and Richard Hanna (R-NY) is a hugely important and long overdue step forward towards leveling the playing field for children, especially poor and low income children. Investing in them in their early years to be ready for school will provide a foundation for future success with lifelong benefits for them and economic and social benefits for our entire nation. Its enactment would demonstrate our commitment as a nation to doing what we know works for all of our children as research shows that poor children can perform as well as nonpoor children if we provide them the supports to do so.

Bullying in nation's DNA

Fred Easter
Nobody asked me, but I can't help being amused, or maybe it's bemused, when I see efforts to stamp out bullying in our schools and neighborhoods.
While I'm adamantly anti-bullying, the inescapable fact is that this is not just a nation of bullies, it is a nation that has DNA glazed with the bullying gene.

So I've just been offered what I think is my dream job (internship) in Aerospace. The problem is that I will probably have to move to:
Marietta Georgia or Fort Worth Texas.
I know the economy sucks and I don't want to be ungrateful, but am I completely screwed for climbing? Is one of these locations better than the other. I want to be trad climbing...sport if I have to. A summer of bouldering as a last option....

Isn't Marietta pretty close (well sort of anyway) to Chattanooga?
Fort Worth - how far from Austin? I don't know squat about TX geography.

Marietta is less than 2 hrs from Chattanooga. That'd be my choice.

Fort Worth...bad
From Decatur, GA
Apr 22, 2010
I can't comment on Fort Worth, but I can tell you that Marietta will put you in close proximity to a lot of great trad climbing:
North Georgia (1-2 hours' drive): Tallulah Gorge, Mount Yonah, Lost Wall
Chattanooga (~2 hours): Tennessee Wall, Sunset Park, Suck Creek
Alabama (2-3 hours): Jamestown, Steele, Sand Rock
North Carolina (3-6 hours): Laurel Knob, Looking Glass, Stone Mountain, Moore's Wall, Whiteside
Kentucky (6-8 hours): Red River Gorge
So I think you'd be pretty happy in Marietta.

Must be Lockheed? Good for you!
The rock in the deep south is much better quality, and greater quantity than what you would have in Texas. Unfortunately, the weather is worse. You'll have prime bouldering season in mid winter (Dec, Jan, Feb), and good cragging weather in late fall/early spring. During the summer, you'll want to kill yourself. There are some crags above 4,000' elevation in NC that stay shady and are viable options for summer cragging, but it's still kinda miserable with the bugs and humidity. I spent a week in Macon, Georgia for work and it was probably the most boring place I've ever been. Marietta looks like a much better location.
My understanding of Texas weather is that it will be as hot, but not as humid in the summer, and colder in the winter. It is closer for driving and flying to the west, but the rock is not as good, and there isn't as much. There are several chossy, small limestone cliffs around Austin, I hear Reimer's is good, but short, and Enchanted Rock is cool, but small (as I remember it).
I would go with Georgia.

Isn't the point of an internship that you hope it will eventually become longterm?

Tough choice...
Seem to recall that Salt Lake City is closer to Hueco Tanks than Dallas/Fort Worth is. That's how friggin' big Tejas is.
Have to say Georgia would be closer to rock climbing. Especially weekend warrior type stuff. More rock and more venues to choose from.
Some of the rock in OK and AR is fairly close, reasonable for a two day weekend. Enchanted Rock? 4.5 hours, so, not too bad. Fun place. (I have my Dome Driver's license!).
I lived in the big D for a summer. Hmmm...
John Maguire
From Boulder, CO
Apr 22, 2010
I really want to say thank you to everyone whose responsed so far. It means a lot to me to have the input from some of you out there. I'll post up when I make a decision but I'm still not sure. There are some other factors that make Texas a better choice, but a summer without climbing is something that I'm not willing to accept.
Please keep the responses coming if you thing there is something that hasn't been said. Once again, thanks a lot.
From Tired

There's an active climbing community in Austin (see
for one perspective, and this guy lives there:
. Maybe try to contact someone local and find out if you dig what they've got.
From Vandalia, Appalachia
Apr 23, 2010
Another vote for Georgia. You are centrally located for most good Southeastern Sandstone, and from what I have heard, many of NC's higher crags are good through the summer.
I went to grad school in Dallas, so here's the deal with TX: mediocre bouldering within 1.5 hrs. Really good granite about 3.5 hours away both to the south (Enchanted Rock) and the north (Wichitas and Quartz Mtn). The excellent sandstone of Arkansas is as close as 7 hours away, and well worth it for a weekend. Finally, Mexico is about an 8 hours drive, depending on the border crossing.
Weatherwise, TX is just as hot as the deep south in the summer, and nearly as humid (though there are some good DWS spots south of Fort Worth. You just won't have the option of the Appalachian "mountains." But spring, fall, and much of winter will be great in both spots.
So, neither choice is terrible, you're way better off than, say, moving to Florida or Nebraska.
(edited to say that, though I don't know Marietta at all, I would be willing to bet that the climbing gyms in Dallas-Ft. Worth are better and more plentiful, if you are into that sort of thing.)

Climbing in the gym is great in the winter and to train but doesn't compare to outside in my opinion. I vote ga for sure. Chatt town has exelent places to climb for both summer (sunset) and winter (t wall) and are both some of the best trad destinations in the east

I've climbed at Enchanted Rock (4hrs)) when it was 102 in the shade in Aug. while training to climb in cooler destinations. It's usually cooler in the Wichita Mts. (3.5 hrs). Quartz Mts Ok are 4.5hrs away. All these places have quality granite.
Winter doesn't settle in the way it does here in CO. It comes for a visit for a week or two at a time I like to say. The rest of winter is mild. So you can climb year around there from Ft Worth if you don't mind being a road warrior.
Hueco Tanks is 9 hrs, makes a good place to visit once a year. All of these areas have up to 3 pitch routes but mostly lots of shorter ones.
Reimers and Austin limestone can be chossy or quality, just depends on the route. They are much less than one pitch.
Sandia Mts NM are 9 hrs. They have just about any kind of climbing you'd want. I'd go there also about once a year.
There's also Robber's Cave Ok, 4hrs which has short routes on quality sandstone and lots of bouldering.
Mt Magazine AR is about 7 hrs with one pitch sandstone, also good rock. Haven't been to Sam's Throne but I hear it's good.
Lake Belton area (Rogers Park?) has good legal bouldering. Possum Kingdom Lake and Lake Whitney areas have good trespass limestone if you don't mind being shot at and dealing with backcountry sheriffs. The Quarry in OK if you really want to push yer luck.
Mineral Wells with funky conglomerate sandstone is like a big climbing gym 30 min from west Ft W.
That's the curcuit we'd run when climbing from FtW. The gyms are as good as most.
I've never been to GA so can't comment on it.
From denver
Jul 7, 2010
mineral wells is all top rope right?
Dallas has the humidity, bugs, and heat, although not as bad as louisiana. It's still rough.
I would rather be closer to chattanooga (climbing\rivers) and rrg then in a big city like dfw. I grew up there. yuck.

Jul 7, 2010
I guess this thread has come alive again - I'll admit that for the most part I forgot I had started it. I appreciate everyones input. In the end I decided to go to DFW. Texas kind of sucks but the job here is really good and I think there will be room for me to move around with the company if I stay with them.
I have been to enchanted rock and plan to go back, as well as to hit up Wichita Mountain. I have been climbing a lot at Summit Gym in Grapevine. Coming from Boulder, though, its weird to drive 40 min to a climbing gym.
I think I made the responsible choice, choosing this location. Thanks again for the input everyone!

No lead or bouldering. I can understand the no lead climbing since the rock is soft but no bouldering?

...other than actual mountains...

SAN ANGELO COLTS: Cats blast Colts
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The San Angelo Colts gave up the most runs they've allowed all season in a 17-7 United League Baseball loss on the road against the league-leading Fort Worth Cats on Thursday night in Game 1 of a four-game series.
The game ended in seven innings because of a power outage.
The Cats jumped on the Colts with four runs in the bottom of the first inning off San Angelo starter Alex Bates, who was pulled after 2.2 innings.
The Colts pulled within 4-3 in the top of the third before Fort Worth exploded with five runs in the bottom of the third to take a 9-3 advantage.
Bates gave up eight hits and nine runs while striking out four and issuing four walks.
Middle reliever Steve Merslich didn't fare much better, lasting just 1 1-3 innings en route to giving up three hits and three runs. He struck out two and walked three.
Fort Worth was leading 10-6 heading into the bottom of the fifth before the Cats gave themselves more breathing room with five runs in the bottom of the frame to go up 15-6.
Fort Worth improved to 9-4, while San Angelo dropped to 6-7 after dropping its third consecutive game. The Colts are 4-7 in their last 11 games.
Mike Mobbs drove in a team-high three runs for San Angelo, and Braden Embry had two RBIs.
Shelby Ford finished with a game-high five RBIs for the Cats, and Chris Ellison drove in three. Daniel Meeley and Kori Melo finished with two RBIs apiece.
Fort Worth collected 15 hits while allowing seven by San Angelo.
The series continues tonight at 7:05 at LaGrave Field.
After their eight-game road trip concludes Sunday, the Colts will return home Monday to begin a 12-game homestand at Foster Field.
All Colts games can be heard live on KKSA 1260-AM.

1. If you lay some chicken on the counter the cockroaches will come out of hiding.

3. It is very sad...
I miss the days when bigots hid in their closets. Now they make it a political statement.

4. I have been in a rotten mood all day thanks to Mike Huckabee
I chose the wrong day to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond. It's across the street from Chic-Fil-A and I have never seen so much traffic. All that bigotry----all that hatred and I could hear cheering from the crowd. It literally made me sick!

6. Racism & hate shoots you up the ranks in the RW quickly. Whereas we shun it, they celebrate it.

7. They've taken all the mystery away from it.
In the not so distant past, one could only speculate who some of the bigots were. Now we know for sure.

8. Don't sweat it. They have no convictions. It's a one day thing.
Our ongoing boycott of CFA is going to last far longer than their support.
If y'all want a real pisser, my trans sister can't pass up a Cracker Barrel and drinks Coors. Was probably standing in like at CFA today. I have no clue. |

9. did you hear about the NH Chick Fil A? the owner
is sponsoring a Gay Pride event, and will be providing free food for it-
Not what mr's huckabee and cathy intended- I'm pretty surprised, and happy with this news. It's a small victory- but it shows promise. |

11. I did read about that.
I'd be torn were I living in NH between supporting the local franchise for their courage, yet knowing that they support the brand and that some of the dollars of my patronage would go toward evil means.
Thanks. |

12. yeah, I've never eaten at a Chick Fil A
and don't intend to (two hour drive for a fast food chicken sandwich? no thanks) but I was really surprised and pleased that this guy was willing to stand against the hate- and am writing to express my thanks for his public support for equal rights.
He had plenty of people there willing to promote cathy's agenda- and didn't need to make an issue of his support of marriage equality. Wish this story had more traction in the MSM so that if there are other franchises out there who really aren't ok with the corporate attitude they would be encouraged to have the guts to speak out as well. People are trying to hide their hate behind "free speech" now, not only their twisted view of religion, and that really sucks- imo. I think that emboldened some to come out, who wouldn't have otherwise done so. They pretended it wasn't about prejudice, but rather about defending the first amendment. |

13. I'd never heard of it and always wondered what was up with the spelling.
We don't have one in this town.

10. Sitting outside reading yesterday...
...when my neighbor comes home, carrying a big ol' Chick-Fil-A sack.
I know the family is deeply Christian, and that's fine with me. But I don't think I'll be able to see them in the same charitable light again. Little gestures tell a lot, IMO. |

Every Saturday morning through the summer, visitors and residents can ride with Dallas Timms on trails through the Fraser Valley.
Timms, 33, a Tabernash resident, wanted to offer visitors a glimpse of the "amazing" trail system when he realized there were no group rides available to guests.
The ride starts at 9:30 a.m. from the Alco parking lot in Fraser and ends about two hours later, says Timms.
He hopes after each ride, mountain bikers will join him in various restaurants for coffee.
Bike rentals are offered through Beaver Village Sports Shop in Winter Park and Totally Wired in Fraser.
The rides are for beginner and intermediate mountain bikers and each week will be different based on the ability of participants.
"The ride is in a fun, friendly environment and for people who just want to ride with people and experience new trails," he said.

Shopping Cart
On the night their mother drowns, sisters Marnie and Diana Maitland discover there is more than one kind of death. There is the death of innocence, of love, and of hope. Each sister harbors a secret about that night-secrets that will erode their lives as they grow into adulthood.
After ten years of silence between the sisters, Marnie is called back to the South Carolina Lowcountry by Diana's ex-husband, Quinn. His young son has returned from a sailing trip with his emotionally unstable mother, and he is refusing to speak. In order to help the traumatized boy, Marnie must reopen old wounds and bring the darkest memories of their past to the surface. And she must confront Diana, before they all go under.
